Middle East trumps gun control in Hillary talk

While Hillary Clinton's Iowa town hall was supposed to highlight her commitment to cracking down on the gun industry, the conversation soon turned to the former secretary of state's plans for brokering peace in the Middle East.

"I know it's a tough battle we face," Clinton said on Tuesday afternoon during the two minutes she spoke on gun violence. "But it's up to all of us to make up our minds that we are going to be determined. We are going to make this a voting issue, just like the other side does."

Hours after her campaign released an ad promoting Clinton's stance on gun control, she switched to foreign policy, reaching back to her husband Bill Clinton's time in the White House.
